These glamorous short hair formal party hair styles will turn heads this Valentines!
When I went looking for pictures of short hairstyles with a formal look for this article I realized how women with short hair are short-changed when it comes to formal party looks for shorter hair. I&#8217;m as guilty as the rest of the hairstyle bloggers out there. But today I&#8217;m here to fix that and just in time for Valentines day if you&#8217;re looking for something special for a date with your sweetie. Let&#8217;s take a look at your options.

The Classic Twist with a Twist
The French twist is a timeless style that oozes classy sophistication and it&#8217;s the type of formal hairdo that&#8217;s great for any holiday party. You can&#8217;t go wrong with a classic French twist or some sort of swept up variation of it. Charlize Theron is wearing a revision of the French twist, undoubtedly stirring up a whirlwind with a certain &#8220;Je ne sais quois&#8221;. Slight variances on the theme, with pinned up sections, make it more modern &amp; interesting. She looks magnificently feminine and sexy in this hairstyle, wouldn&#8217;t you say? . . . with that high collared sparkly necklace and low back halter dress!

The Classic Bob with a bit of Old Hollywood
Beautiful! The timeless bob haircut is ageless for its elegant simplicity and it can be styled in many more ways than you may think. Smooth and shiny, curled, slicked or waved and styled like this to mirror a retro 30&#8242;s look, a short bob hairstyle is hard to top for versatility and it&#8217;s always, always modern chic!

Classic Inverted Bob with side bangs  pure elegance!
Arguably the quickest and easiest hairstyle to maintain, this short inverted bob takes little work for a big style payback. For ladies with straight or slightly wavy hair, a quick blow-drying with a round brush and some root lifter or volumizing product will do just fine. Key to looking party fabulous is a great haircut and to keep your hair healthy and shiny with spot-on hair color.
Classic Short Finger-Wave Party Style
What makes this short finger-wave hairstyle a classic? It&#8217;s been around since the 20&#8242;s and it&#8217;s back again looking as smart and adorable as it did back then! Halle Berry looks endearing in about every style she wears, but with a little gel, a fine toothed comb and some clips, she&#8217;s taken on a whole new persona. That&#8217;s the beauty of this style, it totally transforms this short haircut into a hairstyle worthy of any grand occasion!
Classic Formal Short Retro Wave
Gwen Stephanie rocks this short hairstyle in platinum and pink! Retro styles have been high fashion for a while now and don&#8217;t seem to be going anywhere fast. Whether your hair is long, medium or short you can radically update your look by learning how to style in retro waves. Check out these videos; one from renowned New York hairdresser Oscar Blandi, and another at a Gucci runway show. Pick up some tips on how they create runway ready retro waves, or if you just want to look famous for the night, make an appointment to have your hairdresser doll-you-up and give you some hands-on personalized styling techniques!

      <title><![CDATA[Update Your Look with These Hair Accessories]]></title>
      <link>http://www.visual-makeover.com/hair-accessories/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
Hair Accessories Change Your Style
When you look back at hair trends of any era, there are always hair accessories that help define the times and today&#8217;s hair trends are no different. Who ever the fashion guru was who coined the phrase, &#8220;accessorizing is everything&#8221; was brilliant. Well, it&#8217;s true that great hair accessories can make your style go from plain to fabulous. Apart from hair style, texture and hair color, try adding one of these accessories to give added depth and an extra something to spice up your look.
The Head Band
The head band can be a colored ribbon, a funky metallic finished head band or any sort of floral cluster! Call it vintage, quirky or modern, these versatile gems are the highlights this season. They add a touch of feminine charm, as well as a burst of color to tie together any outfit. Head bands can be worn to pull back all the hair off your face (Jennifer Lopez), giving that fresh-faced look or, as an adornment that simply compliments your style. The head band remains high on our list of easy accessories to wear, so those who are less adventurous with head-gear, a simple head band may be your quick fix to your fashion woes!
The Head Wrap
Although slightly similar, these hair accessories are not worn on top of the head, but high on the forehead or across the forehead and are closely identified with the signature bohemian chic look. Other designs include those larger than the usual ones you find on the streets. These have increasingly become statement pieces sported by many celebrities this season.

Barrett&#8217;s and Jeweld Pins
Another hair accessories trend that women just can&#8217;t seem to get enough of is barrett&#8217;s and jeweled pins. Barrett&#8217;s are essentially clips to keep hair in place, but with a little added shimmer and sparkle, these elegant pieces can easily transform your entire look and bring it to the next level.
Floral barrett&#8217;s are extremely popular this season and can be worn on any occasion. They go with tied back hairstyles like the sophisticated bun or even loosely untied hairdos! For formal night events, elaborate jewelled barrett&#8217;s give a classy and elegant finish while keeping hair intact throughout the night.
Head Scarves
Lets not forget head scarves! They dont have to be swung loosely around your neck to make for a high fashion item, they can also worn around your head as hair accessories. Loosely covering your hair or around your forehead like a headband. And, if you are not the kind to go overboard when it comes to hair accessories, you can try monochrome or single colored headscarves that suffice as superb statement pieces.

      <link>http://www.visual-makeover.com/should-i-get-bangs/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
What Bangs are Right for Me?
The Golden have always been a fabulous place for inspiration when it comes to hairstyles and this year bangs were a big hit. We couldn&#8217;t help notice how many celebrities wore bangs to this formal event. Are any of these bangs right for you? Now find out what type of bangs will work best with your hair type get advice on how to style your bangs and the know-how on how often these bangs will need to be trimmed to keep you looking your best. Anyone can wear these bang styles, but if you choose bangs that are not recommended for your hair type, you can expect to spend more time maintaining them.
Olivia Wildes Thin Bangs
Thin bangs like Olivia&#8217;s, work best on women with thin, straight hair with no cowlicks. A cowlick with thin hair is hard to style straight and keep it that way. However, people with curly or thick hair can achieve this look with just a little effort. These bangs can be straightened with use of a flat-iron or with a blow dryer and vent brush. This type of bang requires regular trims every one to two weeks.
Nichole Richies Heavy Bang
Heavy bangs are youthful and flattering, so for those of you wondering if bangs make you look younger, the answer is yes, most of the time. Women with thick and straight to wavy hair are the best candidates for these types of bangs. Do you want to style your bangs like Nicole Richie? There are two ways you can. You can blow dry your bangs with a large round brush or you can smooth them out with a large barrel curling iron. Because these bangs are cut below the eyebrow, trims are recommended every one to two weeks.

Michelle Williams Short, Wispy Bang
Short, wispy bangs are playful and trendy. These bangs look their best when they are paired with a short haircut like the pixie cut. You can create Michelles wispy bangs look by defining pieces of your bangs using pomade or a similar texturizing hair product. These bangs look their best when they are trimmed every two to four weeks.
Emma Stones Thin Side Bang
Thin side bangs are romantic. Women with thin, straight hair will have the easiest time styling this type of bang. Side bangs are also the optimal type of bang for those with a cowlick in the front of their hair. Because these bangs are thin, they look best when they are straight. You can straighten your bangs using a flat-iron or a blow dryer with a paddle brush. Thin side bangs bang should be trimmed every four to six weeks.
Amber Rileys Thick Side Bang
Thick side bangs are stylish and fashionable. They are best for women with thick hair and little to no waves. Those of you with a cowlick, where they would like the bang to part, will have an even easier time with this bang. You can style your side bang like Ambers in two easy steps. First, smooth your bangs with a flat-iron. Next, use a medium-sized curling iron to curl the ends of your bang off to the side.One advantage of side bangs are their length. Because they are long, you can easily go four to six weeks before you need a trim.

      <title><![CDATA[These Hair and Hat Trends go Hand in Hand]]></title>
      <link>http://www.visual-makeover.com/hair-and-hat/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
Looking for some new looks for spring . . . try some hair and hat ideas.
In ushering the new spring, there more things apart from hair and coats that we also want to change. Even if you are not an avid hat-wearer, this can be your year to come decked in a variety of fashionable head-gear that are inexpensive investments that can transform your style from chic to classy. And if youre having a bad hair day or feeling sun shy, voila! Hats become your new best friend!

The fashion industry simply cant get enough of the oversized floppy hats craze, from straw, cloth and even suede. The great thing about these hats is that they can help you achieve a classy feminine look at very affordable costs! Furthermore, by playing with the different angles of your hat on your head not only helps recreate a myriad of looks but can also be effective tools in brining out your personality. By tilting the floppy hat slightly such that it hides the most part of your forehead, it invokes the element of mystery and completes the soft feminine touch. Oversized floppy hats generally suit oval-shaped fashionistas but squared shaped faces can also pull this trend off! Dont mistake these hats as strictly beachwear or trendy causal accessories; they can also work with business and formal attire!

If you are looking for something less dramatic, then you might hail the return of the cloche hat! Similar to the oversized floppy hat, in the right of angle, it hides a little bit of the face thereby preserving that element of mystery. With this jazzy fit, women can achieve the shy yet sophisticated look at the same time!

Of course, we cannot forget the fedoras that have received much attention last year. But this euphoria has not ended and trend analysts feel that it will continue for most of 2012! So dont be too quick to chuck them into your wardrobes! If you are tired of your fedora, you can always add (or even remove) feathers, ribbons or even bands to make it funkier and refreshing for this spring! Most women can pull of the fedora but those with round faces generally look more attractive under it.

Another hat in the same family as the fedora is the bucket hat, which is also one of the more surprising trends this year. The reason for its lack in popularity could be its simplistic designs because of its original function as a fishermans hat. However, nowadays we can see more and more bucket hats that are decorated with ribbons and jewels that have made it more feminine and increasingly wearable! The shapeless nature of this hat makes it compatible for almost all face shapes and will definitely add that extra punch you need with your outfits! Dont be hesitant to test drive this trend this year!

      <title><![CDATA[How to Prepare for Hair Highlights]]></title>
      <link>http://www.visual-makeover.com/hair-highlights/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
How to do hair highlights
Hair highlights are popular because they allow you to change-up your normal hair color without the dramatic results of an all-over hair transformation. Hair highlights also offer you a way to gradually lighten your hair, instead of risking a dye job that you eventually hate. In short, highlighting your hair sounds like the perfect solution to spice up your look, or if youve just been bored with the same color you have had since birth. Of course, its really important to get ready for the process, and here are some tips for how to prepare for hair highlights.
Have Realistic Expectations
When youre flipping through catalogs of women with gorgeous hair highlights, dont expect your new hair color to look exactly the way it seems on the models. Unless youre the models identical twin, youll probably have a different face shape, larger or smaller forehead, and your starting hair color may be completely different as well. In short, you cant trust the highlights in pictures because they could have been touched up digitally, making the color hard to recreate in a salon. Hair highlights will also vary due to your hair stylists preferred techniques.
Find your Match
If your skin is pale with freckles, you dont want highlights identical to Jennifer Lopez because youd end up with hair that doesnt work well with your natural features. And if you have medium-to-dark skin, the hair color you choose shouldnt be based off of what a natural redhead or blonde girl would choose! Before getting hair highlights, its best to research the colors that will work best with your natural hair color, skin tone, and hair style to find the best match for you.
Be Aware
When preparing for hair highlights, think of it as adding a beauty accessory to your hair. Highlights need to match your style of dress  both when youre at work and relaxing at home. Youll also want to think of any important occasions like job interviews, weddings, proms, or other times where you are expected to look your best. If youre going to any of the previously mention events, you dont want to get over-the-top highlights in your hair that dont match up with what youre doing.
Lifestyle Appropriate
If youre not expected to look professional at your job, then you have more freedom to experiment with chunky highlights that offer a higher contrast. But beware of making your wrinkles more visible with stark contrasting highlights since they tend to enhance ones flaws more than subtle highlighting changes. If youre concerned about making a drastic change to your appearance, opt for well-blended highlights that look natural while complimenting your natural hair color.
Be Committed
Having hair highlights requires commitment if you want the color to last. You should be willing to use a shampoo for color treated hair, and be ready to revisit the salon every other month (or sooner) to have your highlights retouched. You may even need a few more deep conditioning masks or treatments after youve gotten highlights to cut the chance of damage from using heat on your hair.
Revisiting salons every month or two can be very damaging on your hair, so it requires a couple of extra minutes each day to keep the hair from splitting or becoming dry! Highlights also need more time under the dryer if youre not happy with the end results. Highlights can be difficult to reverse, and can further dry out or damage your hair, so its important to understand the risks and benefits of getting hair highlights.
Find the Right Stylist and Salon
The last step in how to prepare for hair highlights is ensuring that you go to a salon youre comfortable with. This will make the experience go smoother, and allow you to relax while youre under the foils. If youre uncomfortable asking the hair stylist questions, then you wont feel comfortable telling her youre unhappy with the color, or explaining in detail what you really want him or her to do.
With so many hair trends, hair highlights have never gone out of style. In fact, they have only gotten more and more popular with men and women of all ages. Since theyre an easy way to add a change to your hair, and can even be done at home now, its no wonder why so many people are turning to highlights instead of dying their hair one boring hair color.
Going back to our original discussion on preparing for hair highlights, dont forget to ask questions when you have them, and be honest with your hair colorist about what colors you like. Also, be open to suggestions since hair stylists will give you helpful hints to find the right color of highlights for you.

These questions need to be answered: Do you have regrowth (roots) showing?]]></description>

Don&#8217;t Put on the Heat Without a Straightening Balm
What straightening balms do:
They temporarily tame textured hair, reducing frizz and flyaways.
Why you need a straightening balm:
If you want sleek, soft hair that does what it&#8217;s told, a straightening balm (aka serum or creme) will smooth the hair shaft. While flat irons and salon straightening services are also effective, they can be damaging if used excessively.
How to use a straightening balm:
Begin with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner. Then, apply product to damp strands and blow-out hair with a brush working section by section, being sure that each one is totally dry before moving onto the next.

Just work Cutler Straightening Cream into damp locks from root to tip, then style normally. It adds a sleek, flyaway-free finish that&#8217;s soft and shiny.

You can multi-task with Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener . . . it straightens and smoothes while adding a mega dose of gloss and heat protection.

Straight Finish Humidity Control Hair Mist from Paul Labrecque offers quick-drying, weightless, flexible hold. It takes hair straight without sacrificing soft, touchable movement.

Liqwd Professional Smoothing Catalyst&#8217;s Nano-Hydraspheres surround each strand to smooth it out and add a boost of moisture. After you blow-dry, your mane will be flat-iron sleek!

Tame unruly locks from the get-go by using Unite Smoothing Conditioner after you shampoo. As a bonus, it locks in color as it defrizzes.]]></description>

Preparing for an Interview
Each of us must continually engage in hair style trade-offs. Looking your very best all the time is just not realistic, unless you are a TV anchor woman or movie star. Sometimes kids, job, money, time, energy or pleasing someone else on the job limits our ability to choose the right hair styles.
You cant have it all, but you can prioritize!
Rank these issues in order of importance:

Spending money on my hair
Career or job advancement
Attractiveness to potential partners
Time to spend on my hair each day
Pleasing others
Lots of appointments at the hair salon
Kids
My self-esteem
Getting compliments
Being fashionable Career and Job Interview Hair styles

If you&#8217;re preparing for an interview, your hair style is just as important as your clothes. Maybe even more important. In a career change or job interview, first impressions are important. Studies have shown that an opinion is formed in the first four seconds. If you dont make the right impression, your interview skills are not going to matter.&#8220;Preparing for an Interview&#8221;
Im married to a management trainer. My hubby Gary spent many years training top-level managers. I sat down with him just recently and asked him what hair style advice he would give my readers in a job or career interview situation. Here are some of his suggestions:

Look like your interviewer &#8211; If youre interviewing with librarians,you better have some horn rimmed glasses and a bun in your hair. If you&#8217;re interviewing for an Wall-Street job, you better have on a suit and conservative haircut. If you are interviewing for an entertainment career, you better have a updo.

.

Never be outside the box &#8211; This is not the time to go with the latest spiky hair style, dramatic haircuts or creative hair colors. You never want to stand out . . . you want to look impeccably well-groomed and appropriate. When you appear polished and well-groomed, it often gives the impression of attention to detail, which is definitely in your favor.

.

Never, ever . . . turn on the sex appeal. Women will hate you . . . and the male prospects will lose respect for your competency or question your intelligence (and probably make a pass instead).

.

Wear conservative, classic hair styles &#8211; One length bobs, layered bobs or inverted bobs are good shorter length hair styles. For longer hair, anything that is pulled up or back, such as twists and braids are great, professional looking hair styles for preparing for an interview.

.

Keep your hair colors subdued &#8211; Avoid blonde (studies have shown that the dumb blonde image can result in a negative first impression and may even lead to discrimination) and if you&#8217;re a bright red-head, you might want to consider toning it down a bit. The safest hair colors in the business world are sandy blonde, light browns and subdued brunettes.

.

Shorter hair styles are better than longer hair styles &#8211; Keep your hair style length above the shoulder and preferably terminating just below your ears.

.

Go short, but not too short &#8211; Avoid the short-short pixie hair cuts, unless you&#8217;re interviewing for a job in the medical profession.

.
The bottom line: do not stand out from the crowd and always look very healthful and impeccably groomed. Pay attention to the hair styles you see on your local TV anchor women for inspiration. Their hair styles are very carefully chosen to appeal to your local audience tastes and sensibilities and to avoid looking like dim wits.]]></description>
